    Blichmann Fermenator - 14 gallon $700- Also fermenting fridge $100 -Madison WI

    I dont think its still available, I believe I had talked to this guy before, If it is I would also be interested but if its the same person I talked to it was gone quickly.

    Yeah i was thinking of having an easy way to divert the flow from one location to another, so the 3 way should work nicely for that. Tri-clamps would probably be ideal but with the costs so much more I may go with stainless quick connects.

    Ive heard this and on the forum for electric brewery one person mentioned a place in nh, where i live, that does this. They already did one and had a great review. Thanks, keep the tips coming.

    Lucky! when did you order them? I am waiting for my 20 Gal and hoping it will be here before the Big Brew Day on the 5th so I can show off ;)

    Very true that it wouldnt be a double brew day, but for just 1 to 3 people drinking it (and not in that great QTY) I dont foresee myself brewing more than 10 gallons for a while... I mean if I could build it in to future proof myself and add a small cost then I probable would.

    I have done enough projects with my 1959 VW and my 1977 Datsun to know how quickly the "little" things add up. First step is planning. I dont see myself doing back-to-back brews in the near future, that would make for a long brew day. I had thought of it when I had a great deal on a 27 Gallon...

    For those of you who have already gone this route what should I think about before I begin? Currently I am going to do approx 10 gallon batches, using 20 gallon pots, but in the interest of saving some upgrades in the future I was thinking of going with the 50A right off the bat. I am also...

    I think the time and labor put into as an investment, not a cost ;) It would be cheaper for me to buy commercial beer than to brew my own sometimes, especially if I factored time into it. I figure if I can save some cash, have a better idea of ho wit all works, and have something thats...

    I like that it can be designed to suit what you need. I dont foresee needing to run all the coils at once but I do like the idea that I can if I ever wanted to.

    Understood, but if I was going to go fully at this I would try to do a lot more research and talk to MANY suppliers to see if I could get any better deals than maybe list price online or wherever. Also watching for price changes over a period of time. I was hoping someone could say...

    How long did it take you? Im not so put off by the time or the work to do it myself, since right now I am renting and not really sure if I will be able to power everything just yet, and getting married in less than 6 months is eating up a lot of my extra cash. Budget is a bit of a...

    I have been looking at the electric brewery website and would love to have something similar. I am leaning towards the 50A system to future proof myself. Anyone who has built this, or something similar, I can see that the cost difference for the pre-built VS the kit (at least for the control...
